Katie Clarke was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. She underwent a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction at NorthShore Glenbrook Hospital, followed by four months of chemotherapy and a year-long course of Herceptin treatments at Evanston Hospital.
Before her own diagnosis, and in memory of her best friend who lost her own life to the disease in 2006, Katie and her family would make a point of cheering on the participants of the three-day breast cancer walk in Chicago armed with motivational signs
and licorice. This, and her own breast cancer journey, would later inspire Katie and her sister to found The Licorice Project.
In part one of this two-part series, Katie shares her NorthShore patient story, from her road to diagnosis, to what's next for her and the passion project born from her experience with breast cancer:
How did your journey to diagnosis begin?
In 2011, at the age of 45, I found a lump in my breast, despite the fact that I had diagnostic mammograms every six months for the previous 1 1/2 years and no family history of the disease. An examination, diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy confirmed
the diagnosis.
How did you feel in the weeks after diagnosis and during treatment? What was hardest? What was surprising?
I felt scared and overwhelmed in the weeks following my diagnosis. There were so many appointments, tests and decisions to make in a short amount of time. During treatment, I felt sick for a couple of days after chemotherapy but then felt fine for
the next two weeks, and even went back to substitute teaching until the next round of chemo. I just did what I was told by the doctors; I kind of felt like I was on autopilot.
I didn't really process my emotions until I was finished with treatment. Then I thought, "What just happened to me?" Once I regained my energy, I had trouble "re-entering" my active and hectic family life. My priorities had changed: I wanted to just relax
and enjoy a slower-paced life with my family.
I would say the hardest times were recovering from surgery and the management of lymphedema. But what surprised me were the silver linings that I encountered, especially all the wonderful people I met along the way.
What brought you to NorthShore for your treatment?
My father, Dr. William Kerr, is a physician at NorthShore. Evanston Hospital has been a part of my family's life forever. I have received all my medical care there.
David Winchester, MD, Surgical Oncologist, was recommended by my OB/GYN's office. Dr. Winchester and I live in the same community. We know each other personally through our children's sports teams. I never imagined I would become one of his patients. I'm
honored to call him both my doctor and friend.
I felt well cared for by everyone at NorthShore, especially everyone on my care team: Dr. Douglas Merkel (oncologist), Dr. Joseph Feldman (lymphedema), Dr. Kim Grahl (internal medicine), Dr. William Banzhaf (obstetrics and gynecology), Bonnie Ryszka (oncology
nurse), Meg Madvig (Kellogg social worker), Maria Sobel (physical therapy for lympedema massages) and Patricia Piant (acupuncture). The staff at NorthShore is loving, knowledgeable and compassionate. I feel so lucky to have been taken care of by the incredible
staff at NorthShore!
What do you know now that you wish you'd known before/during treatment?
I wish I had been more knowledgeable about the long-term effects of lymphedema. (Editor's Note:
Lymphedema is a swelling that occurs in arms and legs, but generally only in one limb. It's caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system, which prevents lymph fluid from draining. Lymphedema can be caused by another condition or a disease that damages lymph
nodes or vessels, like surgery, radiation, cancer and infection.)
What helped you most during treatment?
Family members and friends accompanied me to all of my treatments (17 in total). I chose to use these days as an opportunity to spend unique quality time with friends and family.
Where did the idea for The Licorice Project come from?
Shortly after my treatment began, I started mentoring others and sharing resources and tips that had been helpful to me. It's so important to connect with others who have "been there, done that" and can help manage expectations. At the same time my
sister, Kendra, was getting involved in the Chicago startup scene. Together, we wondered what we could do to help make the journey less overwhelming for future breast cancer patients and the people who care about them. We searched for a way to use technology
to connect and empower people but to also facilitate offline relationships.
The Licorice Project was our answer.
Our goal is to change the breast cancer experience by connecting people locally, sharing resources, and making it easier to give and receive help. We focus on the practical, social and emotional aspects of having breast cancer, and strive to complement what
the medical community and other cancer organizations are doing.
Why Licorice?
While participating in our first breast cancer walk, we were touched by those who came out to cheer us on and give us treats—like licorice. That inspired us to begin our own family tradition of handing out licorice to walkers in Chicago as they passed
through our neighborhood. This simple gesture made people feel happy and upbeat and brought a smile to their faces. Our hope is that The Licorice Project will improve the lives of everyone affected by breast cancer and spread a little unexpected joy along
the way.
What's next? For you? For The Licorice Project?
I feel great! I will continue to have my blood work done and see my doctors every three months. I'm passionate about mentoring newly diagnosed patients and honored to serve on the
Oncology Patient Advisory Board at NorthShore Kellogg Cancer Center.
As for The Licorice Project, we are focused on building our local community and the team. Eventually we hope to expand it to numerous locations across the U.S. so we can provide hope and inspiration to as many people as possible.
What advice would you give to newly diagnosed women?
The best advice someone gave me was to take this journey in stages, one step at a time, otherwise it will be too overwhelming. Try to accept help from others—it's good for you, your family and the people who want to support you.

Protein is an essential element of a healthy, well-balanced diet. In fact, protein makes up a large part of all your body's cells, which is why it is so important that you get enough each day. And that's especially true for those following a vegetarian,
nearly vegetarian or vegan diet who don't get their daily requirement from protein-rich sources like meat. The good news is that reaching your daily protein needs doesn't mean having to include more meat or even any meat all.
Just how much protein do you need on a daily basis? Women need approximately 46 grams and men 56 grams of protein each day. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers need to add additional protein to their diets. On average, it is recommended that they get
70 grams each day. Athletes and active individuals also require more protein based on the length, frequency and intensity of their workouts, which could mean increasing their protein intake by 50% more than a non-active man or woman.
Nearly every food contains some amount of protein but there are plenty of protein-rich, vegetarian-friendly options out there too. It might surprise you just how much protein there is in some of these healthy, meatless foods.
Jennifer Panicko, RD, LDN at NorthShore, shares some of the best veggie-friendly options to maximize daily protein intake:

Intrigued by yoga but not sure where to start? For beginners, yoga's many styles and moves might be a bit overwhelming but don't
be deterred. Yoga is a great exercise for people of all ages, activity levels and body types; it's just a matter of finding the one or combination of styles that's right for you.
Finding the right style of yoga comes down to assessing your current level of fitness/ability and determining what you hope to achieve by adding yoga to your fitness routine. Some styles are better suited to athletes looking to increase flexibility and
stamina, while other more gentle styles are ideal for those with injuries or chronic medical conditions. But no matter the style, all yoga increases strength, flexibility and balance, while also releasing tension and calming the mind. After all, the goal of
yoga is to create a bond between the mind and the body.
Polly Liontis, Yoga Instructor and Licensed Massage Therapist, highlights some popular styles of yoga and discusses the health benefits and required fitness levels of each:
Hatha yoga focuses on breathing exercises and basic poses. Its more basic approach makes it an ideal style for beginners who need to accustom themselves to yoga's poses and relaxation techniques.
Benefits: Hatha reduces stress, increases concentration and promotes a feeling of overall relaxation. It's also great for the core.
Who can do it? Anyone, regardless of age or ability, can do Hatha!
Iyengar yoga is a form of Hatha yoga that focuses on alignment and precision during movement. Often straps, blankets and blocks are used to enable beginners and those with injuries to achieve the correct positioning without putting excess
stress on muscles and joints.
Benefits: Like all styles of yoga, Iyengar is a mind and body exercise. It promotes balance, builds muscle and can help with recovery after an injury.
Who can do it? Iyengar yoga is a gradual yoga. By including props and allowing one to progress slowly from one move to the next, it's great for just about anyone, especially those with less mobility after an injury.
Vinyasa yoga seeks to synchronize movement with breath. The key to Vinyasa is to flow smoothly from one movement to the next, which is why it is also frequently referred to as Vinyasa Flow.
Benefits: Vinyasa gets you moving more than Hatha so there's the added cardiovascular benefit. It also builds lean muscle, improves strength and flexibility, and tones abdominal muscles.
Who can do it? It's a bit more physically demanding and fast-paced than Hatha, but Vinyasa is still great for beginners and those looking to move from beginner to intermediate level.
Ashtanga yoga is a form of power yoga that is fast-paced and intense with lunges and push-ups. The six-move sequence flows rapidly from one strenuous pose to the next and is paired with Vinyasa-style breathing.
Benefits: Like with any style of yoga, Ashtanga reduces stress and improves coordination and balance. It's quite a workout too, which means the added benefit of potential weight loss and full-body toning.
Who can do it? Ashtanga yoga is best for fit people who wish to maintain or increase their strength and stamina. It would be helpful to be familiar with the six basic poses in the Ashtanga sequence before jumping into an Ashtanga class.
Bikram yoga, also known as hot yoga, is practiced in a humid room with temperatures kept at 95 - 100 degrees. All Bikram sessions are 90 minutes and consist of the same 26 poses and two breathing exercises.
Benefits: The heat of Bikram facilitates a deeper stretch, and increased perspiration helps flush and cleanse toxins from the body. It's a gently intense workout with weight-loss possibilities.
Who can do it? The heat might make it a bit of a stretch (no pun intended) for beginners but after you've gotten the hang of the heat and the poses, it's a good yoga style for intermediates looking to push themselves to new levels.
Have you tried yoga? Do you have a favorite style?
Currently there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer. Until such a test exists, raising awareness
about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer is essential to early diagnosis. If diagnosed and treated early, ovarian cancer survival rates are over 90%.
As part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month,
Carolyn Kirschner, MD, Gynecologic Oncology, answers questions on ovarian cancer, from things you can do now to reduce your risk to the early symptoms you just might overlook.
What are some early signs of ovarian cancer that might be overlooked or ignored? How do you know when it is time to see a doctor?
Abdominal pain, bloating, being full after eating a little, new constipation or diarrhea, urinary frequency, fullness in the pelvis, low back pain, nausea/vomiting, fatigue are all possible symptoms of ovarian cancer—but are vague and may be symptoms
of other problems. If symptoms occur several times per week for a month, medical care should be sought. Start with a good primary care physician who can do an exam and then possible imaging studies.
What is the most cost-effective screening test for early detection of ovarian cancer?
Most experts would say that screening should only be performed on women who are at increased risk of ovarian cancer, for example those with a BRCA gene or a strong family history of ovarian cancer. These people may be screened with ultrasound and serum
(blood) CA125. Unfortunately, there may be false positives, especially in younger women, which may result in unnecessary tests or even surgery.
Is it possible to mistake ovarian cancer for fibroids on both a transvaginal ultrasound and a pelvic MRI?
Yes, mistaking ovarian cancer for fibroids can happen. Fibroids are common and ovarian cancer is not. Fortunately, imaging has greatly improved, so this mistake does not happen commonly these days. If there are any questions or concerns about a diagnosis, a
woman who undergoes ultrasound and/or MRI imaging can and should request a disc with the images on them and get a second opinion.
If there is a family history of the disease but no BRCA gene mutations, is your risk for developing ovarian cancer still higher? What can you do to reduce that risk?
Most ovarian cancer is not hereditary, so risk should be the same as the general population, which is less than 2%. While never having children seems to be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, I would never recommend getting pregnant just to
decrease the risk. If you are premenopausal, oral contraceptives may decrease your risk. Birth control is protective because it prevents ovulation. It is theorized that breaks in the surface of the ovary, which occur with ovulation, may result in injuries
that can lead to cancer. Vitamin D may also be protective.
Diet is important. Cancer risk is increased with obesity. I recommend a plant-based, whole-grain diet. Limit saturated fats, white flour and refined sugar. I am a firm believer in exercise for weight control and sanity.
Keep in contact periodically with the genetics staff, in case there is a breakthrough in this area. NorthShore has a high-risk clinic through Division of Gynecologic Oncology, and this may be a good way of staying on the "cutting edge."
What is the best scan for ovarian cancer? CT, MRI, ultrasound or PET?
Each has its advantages. The ultrasound is the least invasive, least expensive and does not use radiation. The CT and MRI look at anatomy. The PET looks at function. For screening, the ultrasound is best.
When the fourth biopsy in four years revealed some of the cancerous cells were now more aggressive than during the previous four years of active surveillance, I found it very hard to accept that the other shoe had actually dropped. I'd been sailing along
with a Gleason 3 + 3, the least aggressive prostate cancer category. I hoped/believed the numbers would stay that way as I lived through the rest of my 70s and into my 80s and who knows how long from there. After all, my father had lived with prostate cancer
and died from unrelated issues at 86.
As with so many other men, I had the first biopsy after a PSA test suggested a possible problem. In my case the PSA had risen slowly over a decade from 1.4 to 3.7, but being 67 at the time and research changing some of the previous thinking about PSA levels
in older men, the initial urological surgeon and I decided a biopsy was a reasonable option.
My fears after getting the news from the fourth biopsy were:
Navigating My Treatment Options
The urologist who had been following me urged surgery (he performs robotic prostatectomy) and I provisionally scheduled the operation for six weeks hence. I needed time for the biopsy site to heal, digest the diagnosis, and collect and process more
As a dentist turned health reporter, my almost 40 years as a health journalist turned out to be a mixed blessing as I tried to intelligently navigate the daunting amount of often contradictory and confusing information, even for a health professional. I
discovered one of my greatest strengths as a reporter—the ability to thoroughly and unemotionally research virtually any health topic—failed me dismally because this time I was too emotionally involved. I would read the same sentence or paragraph over and
over or talk at great length to trusted sources and come away even more confused. Yes, get the cancer out. No, you can safely keeping watching. Surgery? Robotic or open? Radiation? But what type? Or perhaps one of the less tested treatment options? You can
imagine the toll this emotional roller coaster took on my family: Arline my wife of 41 years and my two sons.
Finding My Advocate: A Six Week Journey
As the six weeks dwindled to two, I still felt uncertain—and frightened—about my decisions and options. While agonizing on the phone one night with my older son he said, "Stop it, Dad! More than most, you are in a position to find one voice you can trust who
can guide you to a decision that you and mom can live with. Find that voice."
I did: Dr.
Charles Brendler, Co-Director of Northshore's John and Carol Walter Center for Urological Health. I was referred to Dr. Brendler by a close personal friend of mine, who is also a physician and serves as a department head at a major Chicago medical center.
He told me Dr. Brendler was the person he would see if he were in my position. Now I understand why.
During the nearly two hours Dr. Brendler spent with Arline and me, he painstakingly reviewed my medical records, gently and carefully examined me, and, for most of the two hours, engaged with us in heartfelt conversation. He reassured both of us, spoke caringly
about our feelings on the personal and intimate issues unleashed by prostate cancer and its treatment, and offered compassionate understanding and objective advice.
Three decisions emerged from our meeting. Two involved additional confirmation of the status of my prostate cancer, one via MRI (Dr. Brendler supported my desire to have the scan) and the other through a second opinion of the interpretation of my four biopsies.
The third and most important was the deciding to accept Dr. Brendler's recommendation to see a urologic surgeon, who, because of his unparalleled skill in performing open prostatectomies, would be the best fit for me.
When Arline and I exited Dr Brendler's office and walked through the parking lot, we looked at each other and breathed the first sigh of relief in more than a month because we knew we had found peace with my prostate cancer journey. We followed through on
each of the decisions and three weeks after our fateful meeting my prostate was removed by the surgeon Dr. Brendler recommended. The cancer was locally contained and completely removed.
Thanks to active surveillance, I had four years without treatment. And thanks in large part to Dr. Brendler, I remain totally continent and am on the road back to sexual function seven months post-surgery. I'm grateful beyond words that when my son urged
me to find the one voice I could trust, the voice I heard was Charles Brendler's.
The kids are back in school and already busy with homework, classes and practice. Don't let hectic schedules put your children's health in detention. Parents can do plenty to help their children stay healthy and succeed in school—from ensuring they get adequate
sleep and regular exercise to serving up balanced meals and more. After all, children's health has been shown to be directly linked to success in school.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. If detected and treated early, prostate
cancer survival rates are high and associated with good functional outcomes. As part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month,
Brian Helfand, MD, PhD, Urologist at Northshore, answers questions about prostate cancer risk, early signs and symptoms, recommended screening, as well as current treatment options for prostate cancer and recovery after treatment.
If there is a family history of the disease, does that increase your risk? When should someone with a family history of the disease begin screening?
Prostate cancer is one of the most inheritable of all cancers. As such, risk factors that are most associated with prostate cancer are first-degree family history (father, brother, uncle, etc.) and race (i.e. African-Americans). Based on statistics, a man with
a first-degree connection to the disease is almost two times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a man without a family history. Although there is some debate regarding the routine use of PSA screening, I'm a firm believer that if there is
a family history, one should start undergoing annual PSA screening by the age of 40.
After treatment, how often should a patient return to their physician for further tests and screenings?
After surgery, patients should have an initial post-operative PSA in about four to six weeks and then every three to four months (based upon their urologist's preference). After two years of having an undetectable PSA, I suggest my patients get PSAs every six
What is a normal PSA?
I always tell my patients that you should compare your PSA to what is "normal" for your age group. Most men age 50 and younger have a PSA below 0.7ng/ml. For simplicity, you could use a cutoff of 1.0ng/ml. It's important to point out that having a PSA value
that is above your age group does not mean that you have prostate cancer. It does, however, mean that you are statistically at a slightly increased risk for being diagnosed with the disease. For that reason, you should continue to be screened with PSA on an
annual basis at least.
There are other factors that should go into the interpretation of PSA before deciding to perform a prostate biopsy and these include: PSA values that have been rising over time, family history of prostate cancer, African-American heritage and history of
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Remember, PSA is not a perfect test but it has saved many lives and it's still the best test for prostate cancer screening.
Are there preventative measures that could potentially reduce one's risk for developing the disease?
It's possible that a heart-healthy diet low in fats and simple sugars may help reduce one's risk of developing prostate cancer. There is emerging evidence that obesity is a driving factor for benign growth of the prostate (referred to as BPH or benign prostatic
hyperplasia) and that it could also contribute to one's risk for prostate cancer. Extra weight may also make it harder to detect the disease until it is advanced. Obesity also is thought to contribute to prostate cancer recurrence. That's why it's important
for men to realize that a heart-healthy diet can help keep their prostates healthy too!
How likely is a patient's sexual function to be affected after treatment? What surgical options result in the best possible outcome as far as recovering sex life?
I tell my patients that your post-operative sexual function is significantly related to your age and pre-operative function. In general, treatment for prostate cancer (radiation or surgery) has never improved a man's erectile function. However, if a man is
young, not diabetic or obese and had good erectile function prior to surgery, he has a very good chance of having normal erections post-op.
I believe that good, nerve-sparing surgery significantly helps with the recovery of erectile function. This can be done by a urologic surgeon who is trained in the technique and frequently performs the operation. In addition, I believe that all men should
start (at minimum) a rehabilitation program before and immediately after surgery that helps to recover nerve function. This could involve taking drugs like Cialis before and after surgery.
If you do suffer from sexual dysfunction after prostate cancer treatment, what can you do to aid/improve recovery?
Unfortunately, there is no universal solution for every man but there are many different options that are available for treatment of sexual dysfunction after surgery. Prostate cancer patients should have an assessment of psychological function and desire for
sexual activity following surgery. Many men get nervous about intimacy following surgery and an evaluation by a trained professional can help relieve a lot of this anxiety.
If there are erectile issues after treatment, many men respond to simple medical therapies like Viagra and Cialis. This is often a starting point. If you fail to respond to these therapies, other interventions such as a vacuum erection device or injection
therapies can be used to obtain an erection. As always, regular exercise and a heart-healthy diet help increases your chances of a successful recovery.
What are the differences between robotic laparoscopic surgery and conventional open prostatectomy in terms of recovery?
I think the answer is surgeon experience. There are many urologists who can perform open surgery with excellent outcomes (great cancer control, erectile function and continence). And there are many urologists who can perform robotic surgery with similar outcomes.
It's most important to be treated by an urologist who is comfortable and experienced with a radical prostatectomy. Having said that, robotic surgery has recently become the most commonly used surgical intervention for prostate cancer. When compared to open
surgery, robotic surgery offers significantly less blood loss and a shorter hospital stay. Although not proven, it's likely that the robotic surgery offers increased visualization of the area by the surgeon which provides an opportunity to spare more nerves
and create a nice connection between the bladder and urethra. These are both associated with increased erectile function and increased continence.
What does active surveillance involve? Why would someone choose to do that instead of actively treat their cancer?
We have come to a "new era" of understanding prostate cancer and realized that many men have prostate tumors that may not harm them during their lifetime (benign-type prostate cancer). This is because many prostate tumors grow very slowly and other medical
problems may ultimately harm a man before the prostate cancer spreads
Unfortunately, there is currently no diagnostic test that can tell whether one has a lethal prostate cancer or more benign-type tumor; therefore, we have developed a program of surveillance in which we avoid treating patients with prostate cancer until there
is evidence that it has an aggressive component. This involves actively and regularly monitoring men through the use of PSA tests and prostate biopsies. While this does increase the number of times that a man is evaluated by an urologist, it avoids overtreatment,
like unnecessary surgery or radiation that could cause erectile problems and/or incontinence. Currently, NorthShore University HealthSystem has the largest program in the Midwest.
Many typically associate cancer with a specific part of the body, like the breast, prostate or colon; however, it can develop
and affect more just a part of the body. Approximately 43,000 people are diagnosed with leukemia each year. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Blood cells, both white and red, are made in bone marrow. With leukemia, bone marrow produces an
abnormal amount of white blood cells, which cannot function like normal white cells. As the disease progresses, the accumulation of these abnormal cells can cause anemia, bleeding, infections and eventually could spread to other areas of the body.
Leukemia can develop in both children and adults, and is the most prevalent cancer found in children under 14 years old. Depending on the type of leukemia, symptoms may become apparent almost immediately or gradually develop and become more noticeable over
the course of months or even years. Treatment plans will vary depending on the type of leukemia, as well as your age and current health.
Alla Gimbelfarb, MD, Hematology at NorthShore, identifies some of the signs and symptoms of leukemia that many overlook :
Has leukemia touched someone in your family? During National Leukemia/Lymphoma Month help raise awareness about its signs and symptoms.
Practicing multiple days during the week. Competing in tournaments on the weekend. Participating in rigorous training camps
and leagues in the off-season. Playing the same or multiple sports year round. Does this resemble your child's sports schedule?
Youth sports are becoming more competitive at younger ages, often requiring participation beyond the normal season to make the cut and see more starting time during games. As the pressure to participate increases and youth sports become more "professional,"
your child's risk for injury increases too. Sports are a great way to keep your child involved and active, but year-round practices for the same sport can lead to some health concerns as well, including stress fractures, ligament tears and musculoskeletal
Eric Chehab, MD, a NorthShore affiliated orthopaedic surgeon, offers some tips to help keep your kids active and injury-free:

What are Ticks?
Ticks are blood-sucking skin parasites that latch and feed on the blood of their hosts, and as a result transmit diseases. These parasites belong to the arthropod family (mites, mosquitoes, spiders and scorpions) and inhabit areas where there are low bushes, shrubs, grass, or forests.
They are quite easy to recognize and flat and round in shape. They attach themselves at the head to an animal's skin to feed. Ticks have a life cycle of approximately three months and experience 4 stages – from egg to larva, from larva to nymph and nymph to adult.

West Virginia Wesleyan returned to the top of the WVIAC mountain in women's soccer Sunday night, winning its fourth league title in the last five years, downing the University of Charleston 1-0 in the title game.
Freshman speedster Jocelyn Prescott delivered the game winner early on, scoring off a Jade Smith assist at the 14:08 mark.
Just as Coach Patrick Holguin's team has been doing all year, the Lady Bobcats rode their defense to the title. It was the 12th shutout the team has posted in the season's 19 matches. After a midseason shutout of a ranked California (Pa.) squad, Holguin remarked about how special this squad is from a defensive standpoint.
"It is not just the defense and the goalkeeper, this is a squad that plays great team defense all over the field," Holguin said. "They do a good job of not allowing the other team to create opportunities cutting them off at the attack."
This philosophy was evident, as the Lady Bobcats avenged their regular season loss to the Golden Eagles when it mattered most.
Following Prescott's early tally, Charleston could never provide the equalizer.
Charleston ends its season at 9-9-3 overall. It made the title game as the No. 5 seed, upsetting regular-season champ Alderson-Broaddus to reach the final.
Wesleyan takes the title with an overall record of 11-5-3.

They all looked great and we got lots of compliments. I was only a little disappointed that there was only one size to choose from and that the magnets are much smaller than the envelopes that they arrive with. You can buy the card for the magnet but it wasn't advertised or suggested with the product so I did not get them and am sorry that I didn't.
Great Service
Candlelit Mason Jar Tea-length Programs The service was excellent and the cards came out beautifully. I couldn't have asked for a better site to do my save the dates, invites, and ceremony pamphlets.
MagnetStreet ALL the WAY!
Candlelit Mason Jar Rectangle Invitations We LOVED how our invites came out. The quality of the invites and the careful customization was more than we could ask for.
Programs are great!
Candlelit Mason Jar Tea-length Programs The programs were fun and easy to make and came to a good price. I love them! They looked great when they arrived - just like they looked online.
Candlelit Mason Jar Tea-length Programs The programs matched perfectly with our Candlelit Mason Jar invitations. We had a medium size bridal party which was hard to fit everyone's names on the back, but after a bit of manipulation everything looked perfect!

One of the last things Punkin Miller wanted to do as manager of the MetLife Orioles in the Blue Mountain League was get a scoreboard dedicated at his team's Curt Simmons Field at Egypt Memorial Park.
On Sunday afternoon, that scoreboard was dedicated, but sadly, Miller wasn't there to see it.
He died in February at the age of 71, but Punkin's spirit could still be felt as the 2013 BML season began with his team facing the four-time defending champion Hellertown Royals.
His favorite car dealership, Eberhardt Motors of Egypt, sponsored the scoreboard after Punkin came calling.
"I was happy to do it for Punkin and appreciated him asking me, and I am also proud and honored to salute my parents, Theodore G. and Emma Eberhardt, with their names on the scoreboard," said Eric Eberhardt, the dealership's owner. "I love to give back to the community and this is a great way to do it."
Dale Reitz, the present of the Egypt Memorial Park, said the scoreboard is the "final piece" to a field makeover that began in the fall of 2011.
"It really kind of completes Simmons Field and Curt is coming back on June 1 for the Egypt Memorial Park festival and I am sure Curt will be happy to see it," Reitz said.
In addition to the scoreboard, a bench and tree were dedicated in Punkin's memory.
Miller brought the Orioles to Egypt in the early 1970s, and attracted hundreds of baseball fans to the park over the past 40 years to watch his teams play.
"I didn't want to do this just for Egypt, but I really loved Punkin and what he did for this town and local baseball," Eberhardt said.
As for the game, Punkin was obviously watching over his team. The Orioles rallied with four runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie it and then rallied again with three runs in the bottom of the ninth to pull out a 10-9 win over the rival Royals.
It was a Who's Who of local sports personalities being honored on May 4 at the fourth annual Lehigh Valley Sports Hall of Fame at the Northampton Community Center.
But while looking back at some of the area's all-time great athletes such as Mike Guman, Mike Cerimele, Bob Zerfass, Ishky Fatzinger and Rich and Jerry Rodriguez, and legendary coaches such as Bill Paulik, Al Leonzi, Bob Kohler, Tony Iasiello and Bill Davis, it was also nice to take a look at possible future Hall of Famers such as Kayla Cunningham, Mikey Racciato, Bridget Smith and Zac Edwards.
The female athlete of the year was Cunningham, a Whitehall High senior who is headed to Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., to play field hockey. Incredibly, she was the Lehigh Valley Conference MVP in two sports — field hockey and soccer. She finished her career as the area's all-time leading scorer (boys or girls) in soccer with 166 goals — 51 as a senior.
Racciato, a standout in football and wrestling at Pen Argyl, was the male athlete of the year. He is headed to the University of Pittsburgh to wrestle after winning three state championships and finishing with a remarkable record of 186-8.
Smith, a senior at Bethlehem Catholic, made her mark at Bethlehem Catholic in soccer and basketball and helped the Golden Hawks reach the PIAA 3A final in hoops. More than that, however, she was at the top of her senior class academically and will attend the University of Pennsylvania.
Edwards also shined in two sports at Catasauqua, baseball and basketball. He also ranks No. 1 in his senior class and has a book's worth of academic and extracurricular accomplishments. He will continue his baseball career at Lebanon Valley College.
Another of the Lehigh Valley Hall of Fame inductees was legendary umpire Frank Pulli, who graduated from Easton High School in 1953. Pulli lives in Florida and couldn't attend the ceremony.

Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker called efforts to revitalize economic development in Mount Rainier, North Brentwood, Brentwood and Hyattsville "amazing" during a panel discussion last week regarding the Gateway Arts District "Art Lives Here" initiative.
Art Lives Here, fueled by a $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, is a 12-month campaign to showcase artistic projects, support creative business development and strengthen
visibility campaigns.
"In just over a decade, the Gateway Arts District has evolved from a great idea to one of the county's best residential and commercial investment opportunities," Baker said. "I want to thank the residents, businesses and artists of the Gateway Arts District.
"The $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts is a testament to the persistence and passion they have to continue the amazing growth of these wonderfully diverse and unique communities."
During the discussion — moderated by Carole Bernard, executive director of the Gateway Community Development — at Urban Eats in Mount Rainier, Baker was joined by Peter Shapiro, executive director of Prince George's County Revenue Authority, Theresa Cameron from the Americans for the Arts, and Brooke Kidd, executive director of Joe's Movement Emporium.
Bernard applauded the county's art initiative along with Baker.
"What an exciting time it is in the Prince George's County Gateway Arts District. We have new mixed-use development on the horizon, wonderful and engaging cultural activities for all to enjoy and talented professional artists whose work enhances the vibrancy of our communities," Bernard said. "The next 36 months are a critical period of transformation for the region as the economy continues to recover. The arts district is well-positioned to catch that next wave of economic progress."
The $50,000 NEA grant allows the Gateway Arts District to conduct the first 12-month phase of Art Lives Here by engaging citizens through performances and public art projects; pairing artists with downtown businesses to create pop-up performances and installations; starting an Innovation Fund to support creative business development, and establishing a downtown arts season and a seasonal visibility campaign for the Gateway Arts District.
For the second phase of the initiative, the Gateway Arts District has applied for a $300,000 national grant from ArtPlace.
"It's an exciting time for evolution and exploration in the creative placemaking field, and I look forward to the lessons that Art Lives Here will yield for communities in Prince George's County and for the field as a whole," said Jason Schupbach, NEA director of design.
The first of several Art Lives Here events was held Saturday with the opening of the Mount Rainier Farmer's Market. The farmers' market will continue every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through fall. Opening day featured Valencia Farms, which provides fresh fruits and veggies, and Tea 4 You Etc. Through the summer, the market will include bakery goods, crafts and gifts, and performing artists.
In the upcoming weeks, the Gateway Arts District will host more Art Lives Here events.
The Gateway Arts District Open Studios from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday offers a peek inside artists' studios. The tour includes 17 venues, 70 studios and 120 artists working in home shops, storefronts and
warehouses throughout the arts district. The tour culminates with an after-party and opening reception from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the 39th Street Gallery in Brentwood.
The Mount Rainier Day parade starts at 11 a.m. May 18. This longstanding town festival and parade that blocks off one side of Rhode Island Avenue will be lined with soul food and a patch work of vendors,
community groups and children's activities.
The 34th Annual Historic Hyattsville Homes Tour from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 19 is a self-guided tour that showcases the latest restoration and preservation efforts in homes, gardens, businesses and civic
organizations. Tickets are required for this event. Advance tickets are $10 and can be purchased from Franklin's and the City Municipal Building. Tickets are $12 on the day of the event.

Traditional OKAPI pocket knives
The history of OKAPI pocket knives began in Solingen, Germany, at the beginning of the last century. Our name derives from the coincidence that a new species of buck was discovered in the then Belgian Congo in 1902, the Okapi, at the very time a new range of pocket knives was first developed at the factory in Solingen. To mark the occasion, they were christened the OKAPI range. In 1988, OKAPI SOUTH AFRICA (then trading as All Round Tooling) bought the trademark and tooling and continued to produce these knives in South Africa. The basic design of the 907e wooden handled lockback has changed little over the years where the basic carbon steel, impregnated handle knife remains a firm favourite. The traditional Okapi range is supplemented by the Big Sable non locking knife as well as the small flat knife.

322 Ridge Pike, Conshohocken, PA | Directions 1942840.095197 -75.29134

Australian tchotchkes and brews give this quintessentially American restaurant a distinctive Down Under flavor. – In Short
Boomerangs, Aussie flags, kangaroo portraits and faux aboriginal art honor the homeland's wilderness, but Outback delivers a polished version of rusticity with varnished blond-wood booths with matching wainscoting and casually uniformed waitstaff. Besides more than a half-dozen cuts of steak, diners can pick from large-portioned entrees like ribs, chops and shrimp or chicken "on the barbie." The Bloomin' Onion, a large onion dipped in batter and deep-fried, is an appetizer with a following.
no rules, just about right – Went on a Sunday night. Service was efficient and pleasant. Sampled the two extremes in terms of steak quality - a 14 oz. Outback special that was tender but chewy, and a 9 oz. Victoria filet that was worth making the trip for. The highlight was a suprizingly good chocolate thunder from down under sundae - one of the best chocolate experiences I have in recent memory. Overall very satisfying.

I have a buffer variable along this line:
byte* data;
char* ch;
char16_t* ch16;
char32_t* ch32;
I keep track of which format of data I'm storing in the buffer and use the different name depending on what kind of unit (char, char16_t, etc.) I'm storing in the buffer.
My question is, is it safe to delete[] the array of whatever unit type on any member regardless of how I initialized one of the pointers? For example:
m_Buffer.ch16 = new char16_t[ charCount ];
delete[] m_Buffer.data; // Is this valid... does it free the above allocation?
m_Buffer.data = new byte[ charCount * sizeof(char16_t) ];
delete[] m_Buffer.ch16; // Is this valid... does it free the above allocation?
Also, is the pointer I assign to a given union member kept properly regardless of which one I access for indexing into the array? For example:
m_Buffer.data = new byte[ charCount * sizeof(char16_t) ];
// Fill the string buffer with spaces.
for( uint i = 0; i < charCount - 1; i++ )
m_Buffer.ch16[ i ] = (char16_t)' '; // Is this valid?
// Terminate the string.
m_Buffer.ch16[ charCount - 1 ] = (char16_t)'\0';
m_Buffer.ch16 = new char16_t[ charCount ];
m_UnitCount = charCount;
// Then somewhere else:
byte* someOtherBuffer = new byte[ charCount * sizeof(char16_t) ];
memcpy( someOtherBuffer, m_Buffer.data, m_UnitCount * sizeof(char16_t) );
delete[] m_Buffer.data;
m_Buffer.data = someOtherBuffer;
m_UnitCount = charCount;
My knowledge of unions and delete is very rusty. Does all of the above code work as expected?

I worked at SunTrust part-time for more than a year
Pros – The work hours were great.The pay is ok. I really liked the training. They make sure that you are currently aware of new products and company changes. Excellent benefits.
Cons – It can be very stressful at times. It can be difficult to meet the goals, and they put a lot of pressure on you. It is really hard to advance in the company, which is why I left.
I have been working at SunTrust full-time for more than 10 years

Shimano SLX HG81 10 Speed Cassette
The addition of a massive 36 tooth cog is one of the key features of Shimano's new 10 speed Dyna-Sys range of drive trains. The big advantage to the 36 tooth cassette is that you'll be able to stay in your middle and big rings longer meaning that you'll ultimately be shifting less. Who would have ever thought more gears would equal less shifting.
the 36t is awesome on my 2x10 29er. saviour on the uphill.
Good set of gears, can't find anything wrong with them, and good on the wallet as well

I like the pictures, the underwater scene is really well done, and I like the armor and colours of the first one. For the last picture, a few things that I can see is mainly to do with the arms - I think the guy's (our) left arm should be a bit longer, and (our) right one, either the top part of the arm shorter, or the end part connected to the wrist longer (or a combo of both). I think the shape of the girl's hand is fine, but it is very long in comparison to her arm, so maybe make it a little bit smaller, and again lengthen the top part of the girl's arm (connected to the shoulder)
I like your drawings, would be nice to see some more!

I've been taking these for about a week now occasionally, and my nose is so runny all the time.. It's because my body pulls out the toxins, which is good. I have been noticing also that my energy levels are way up than normally. Worth trying.

I took it with Tissue D Acne to achieve a better result for my inflamed pimple. Nothing happened. Maybe there is some mysterious spiritual thing happening in my body right now after I finish the whole bottle. But whatever this thing is, it is not visible. One star for its sweet taste.

Hard to tell if this was working, finished the box, but maybe have to try it for a longer time to see any results... I bought it for cfs, and some days I felt a little better, but not much...
May not be for me

I worked at Henry Schein
Pros – Great products, Sales promotions, specials, due to international size of company. Lots of training.
Cons – Watch out! Like to motivate by creating internal competition & chaos. Will not fire due to legal concerns, so will cut draws, split territories, hire new, to push someone out. "Good old boys network" when it comes to mgmt. If you disagree or raise your hand, you are done. Your #'s better be good every qtr, evry yr. Have pushed good people out after many solid yrs. Lots of hidden chargebacks to sales person. If you are going to work here, dot your i's & cross t's because promises never materialize.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop protecting mgmt! Way to many managers! You are not to big to fail. Get back to small company business basics.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Caution: Consult your diabetes care team before starting a lower carbohydrate meal plan. Diabetes medications such as insulin or oral drugs that stimulate insulin production (sulfonylureas or meglitinides) will need adjustment to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) when carbohydrate intake is decreased.
Not only are many people who want to lose weight jumping on the low-carb caravan, so are some people who have diabetes. Some wonder why, since the message seems to fly in the face of conventional wisdom. Diabetes and heart disease are so closely related. Can a lower-carb meal plan help improve the odds? We're learning.
It is no surprise that controlling carbohydrate consumption improves blood glucose, but that's not the entire story. This change in diet usually includes an increase in protein and fat intake, the very foods most people with diabetes are taught to decrease. You would think this way of eating would worsen cholesterol levels, but if done correctly, it has proved to have a positive effect.
How do we know this? Over the last five years, a combination of personal results and research have shown some surprisingly consistent results, so that at least in the short term, we see
Longer-term studies are being conducted to further assess the risks and benefits of the lower-carbohydrate approach to diabetes management.
Elevated triglyceride and decreased HDL levels are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease.
Triglycerides are a form of fat that comes from food and is also made and stored in your body. Many times an elevated triglyceride level precludes diabetes, and it can also be a consequence of untreated diabetes. Elevated triglyceride levels have also been linked to heart disease, but the relationship is not as clear as that linking elevated LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels to heart disease risk. The fasting triglyceride goal for nonpregnant adults with diabetes is less than 150 mg/dl, according to the American Diabetes Association's Clinical Practice Recommendations.
HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, the "good" cholesterol, is a cholesterol carrier considered to be protective or healthy. HDL carries cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it is passed from the body. A high HDL level seems to protect against cardiovascular disease. Some call it the "Draino" factor, protecting you against having a heart attack.
What should you do if you have type 2 diabetes and are obese as well? Should you follow the conventional medical nutrition therapy recommended by the American Diabetes Association based on the FDA's Food Guide Pyramid, or should you choose a lower-carbohydrate meal plan? The best advice is to meet with your healthcare provider and discuss your options. Together, you can decide which plan is best for you. Once you decide, meet with a registered dietitian who is a certified diabetes educator to develop an individualized meal plan you can live with and enjoy and one that will also improve your health.
